- 探索DTI参数,椎脊柱对齐和脊髓形态参数,特别是脊髓缩 (SCA) 之间的关系.
- 评估DTI和形态参数对HD定量评估的潜力.
主要方法:
- 对41名HD患者进行了回顾性队列研究.
- 采集X射线,常规MRI和DTI扫描在中性和曲位置.
- 使用感兴趣区域 (ROI) 和相关性分析 (Spearman) 测量DTI参数 (FA,ADC),椎脊柱对齐 (Cobb角度,ROM) 和脊髓形态 (SCA,LOA).
主要成果:
- 在曲过程中,在多个椎脊柱段 (C3/4,C4/5,C6/7) 中观察到DTI参数的显著差异.
- 屈曲科布角与分数异构 (FA) 和明显扩散系数 (ADC) 值有显著的相关性.
- 曲FA和ADC值显示在C4/5,C5/6,C6/7.段中与脊髓缩 (SCA) 有显著的相关性.
结论:
- 在HD患者中,DTI参数与椎脊柱曲和脊髓缩有显著的相关性.

Vertebral Column: Regions and Curvature
3.8K
The vertebral column or spine is a flexible column that supports the head, neck, and body and allows for their movements. It also protects the spinal cord.
Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form...

Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy
2.1K
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.

Spinal Cord: Gross Anatomy
3.3K
The spinal cord resides within the protective confines of the vertebral column. It is the main pathway for information traveling between the brain and the body. It plays a fundamental role in nearly all bodily functions, from simple reflexes to complex motor movements. The spinal cord begins at the medulla oblongata at the base of the brainstem and extends downward, terminating at the conus medullaris near the first and second lumbar vertebrae. The spinal cord's length in adults is...

The Spinal Cord
29.4K
The spinal cord is the body’s major nerve tract of the central nervous system, communicating afferent sensory information from the periphery to the brain and efferent motor information from the brain to the body. The human spinal cord extends from the hole at the base of the skull, or foramen magnum, to the level of the first or second lumbar vertebra.
